has detemined the following:
         
         Biennial Net Impact to General Revenue Funds by HB1243-As Engrossed
         

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
         

         
 
          
This bill would allow local governments to enter into lease/purchase 
contracts for energy conservation measures, but would limit 
a local governments contractual obligations in any one year

by the number of years in the contract term.

No significant 
fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
